my new most favorite song ever
Never, Neverland - Stephanie J. Block
She’d tell me ‘bout captain hook and all of his men
Who followed peter with a hook replaced as his hand
In those tales bad guys seldom did win
So the captain was eaten and Wendy had twins
Well that’s the story as I recall it
But I may have made up the end
Don’t remember much at 3 feet tall
Except for when I’d say: “mom, let me go to never never land. Let me fly for one day, throw that fairy dust in my hair so I can pretend I’m flying away, I’m flying away.”
Well to my surprise I grew up too fast
And that easy life of tinkerbell never did last
So I silently dreamed myself far far away
That I could be immortalized like Peter one day
And that’s my childhood as I recall
Though in some ways it never did end
Now I’m standing well a little bit taller
Except for when I say: “mom, let me go to never never land. Let me fly for one day, and throw that fairy dust in my hair so I can pretend I’m flying away, I’m flying away.”
And though life is never easy as we, as children read in the books
Where fairy dust could just fly you so far away
All I ask is that you leave me my imagination
So I can pretend I’m flying away, I’m flying away
And this is where I’ll stay right here in never never land
I’d be flying, I’d be dying for love, appreciation
Where mermaids would sing and fairies would ring
Right down here in never never land
And it’s second to the left and straight on till morning
Yes, it’s second to the left and straight on till morning
In never never land
In my never never land
